As per the discussion that Scott and I had on IRC earlier, I tried to
summarize the current issues that we encounter outside the confines of
strict Java EE usage, for non Java EE JPA and native Hibernate
applications (with Spring apps being a subset of the larger Hibernate
application set), as well as some possible workarounds and some possible
solutions - some of these have working prototypes, for some others we
need to decide the direction in which we want to go (e.g. fail-fast vs.
more precise validation vs. runtime failures and so on).
It would be ideal if we could address some of these issues pre-7.0, if
not, then at least we should have a working plan for 7.1.
